birthplace an attractive and stimulating environment for the mathematicians, scientists and engineers<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; from all over the world to meet in seminars, symposia, workshops and courses.<br><br>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To display the history of Maxwell&#39;s family and his many technical advances, as a simple museum, within his birthplace.<br><br>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To develop programmes to encourage young students to become&nbsp; mathematicians, scientists and engineers.&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Research and travel grants are made to young scientists.&nbsp; James Clerk Maxwell prizes are awarded.<br><br>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To increase public awareness of the foundations laid by James Clerk

that Clerk Maxwell is one of the most influential scientists of all time, his discovery of the nature of electromagnetic waves paving the way for radio, television, radar and the mobile telephone; congratulates the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the many donors who made the monument possible; believes it is right there should be public recognition of the achievements of Clerk Maxwell in the
